Especially that mother, heartless and shameless.
He felt no emotion towards Daisy Thompson, she was at most a stranger whose name he knew.
As long as she didn’t provoke him, he wouldn’t go looking for trouble with her, but if she dared to provoke him, or even his wife, then she couldn’t blame him for not being polite.
Recalling how that woman acted all high and mighty in front of his wife on the cruise ship, the coldness in Adam Jones’s eyes resurfaced.
"If you encounter that woman and she causes you trouble, you don’t have to be polite, just handle it however you want to?"
He was worried that this silly woman would consider that woman his mother and wrong herself.
Elly Campbell caught the meaning in his words, looked up at him, and laughed:
"Don’t worry, I don’t even spare my own father’s face, would I spare yours?"
Adam Jones was amused by her words, lifted his hand to ruffle her hair again, and his mood, which had been agitated because of Daisy Thompson, improved quite a bit.
Elly Campbell thought that encountering Daisy Thompson at the charity gala was just an interlude, yet didn’t expect that someone would actively seek her out the very next day.
In the café, Elly Campbell sat at a window seat, watching with an indifferent expression as the radiant beauty wearing a mask and sunglasses walked into the café towards her.
"Sorry, Mrs. Jones, to keep you waiting."
The person was none other than Sophia Green, the new Best Actress in the entertainment industry.
After removing her sunglasses and sitting down in front of Elly Campbell, she revealed a very charming smile.
"You must find it amusing, but public figures like us are afraid of being targeted by the paparazzi, so..."
Elly Campbell watched Sophia Green and thought the woman was quite funny, having this air of superiority as an actress in every move she made.
As if deliberately flaunting her status as an Best Actress in front of her.
Whether it was because of Daisy Thompson that she felt adverse towards Sophia Green, or because the person truly seemed pretentious, in any case, Elly Campbell didn’t have much of a liking for the Sophia Green before her.
She looked at Sophia Green, curving her lips just right, and said:
"Miss Green is joking, you’re here to see me, not some man, how could any scandal arise?"
Elly Campbell picked up her coffee and took a sip, seemingly making a joke, but her words were noticeably distant.
Sophia Green, who had been in the entertainment industry for many years and was very adept at reading people, couldn’t possibly fail to detect that.
"Mrs. Jones seems to have some issues with me?"
Sophia Green played with the spoon idly stirring her coffee, asking with a smile.
"Why would Miss Green think so? We have no involvement with each other, how could I possibly have an issue with you?"
Elly Campbell raised her eyebrows, laughing and asking, "I’m not sure why Miss Green would take the risk of being targeted by the paparazzi to specifically ask to meet with me, is there a reason?"
Upon hearing this, Sophia Green’s smile stiffened, clearly catching the hidden sarcasm in Elly Campbell’s mention of "the risk of being targeted by the paparazzi."
A sudden chill flashed in her heart, igniting a flicker of anger.
But she concealed this emotion very well, pretending not to notice the irony in Elly Campbell’s words, pursed her lips, and with a troubled expression, said:
"Mrs. Jones, I’m here this time for my mother."
At this point, she paused, then added, "To be precise, my stepmother, Adam’s mother."
Elly Campbell looked at Sophia Green, her eyebrows twitching.
Since when did Miss Green become so familiar with her husband that she even adopted such an intimate form of address?
